Could be an interesting life lesson for him.
Yeah, like that really happens in real life.

I liked the Affirmative Action Bake sale they did. Depending on your color determined what you paid for the goods.

Now that's a classic example of real life.

Well, from what I heard, it was canceled, Yay! on the other hand, maybe they should have done it, then they could have gotten suspended..suddenly that option seems a lot better.

Seriously now, it does not matter how high a fences or deep a moat is put around the borders, so long as small business continues to hire illegal workers, they will come.
